It's a PC only bug where you randomly lose all in game sound and the only fix is to restart the game.
It only happens in GA and it can happen 3-4 times a day, but at least once a day.
It's super annoying especially when you finally find a good team, then lose sound and have to restart.
It's been present since launch....

Wow ! Sounds like a very serious bug. And it's been there since launch? To think it's hard to imagine what is going on back at Dice's office, especially since much more bugs have appeared since the latest update.

Every single PC player is affected by this. The issue has been here since launch, its a joke it isn't already fixed. Its game breaking level.

Indeed! For a triple-A game, things are getting more buggy faster than getting them fixed. It's been a while since we have gotten any hotfixes. Though we are finally getting a patch in the next 2 days (August 7) that supposedly fixes a lot of bugs, but can't say what exactly will happen. It's only a matter of time if Dice does not get it together.

The 5 developers working on the game is not a myth. But it was the same with BF2015...

It definitely is a huge game breaking bug. Haven’t seen it mentioned in any update/patch notes either as being on their radar for a fix. Even though I see threads come up every now and then reporting the issue. It happened 2 times yesterday to me and I’m also a PC player.

For me it usually happens after playing several maps in GA. Can happen right away though in first match but rare. Almost every other match you see someone comment that they lost sound. Probably happens at least a couple times a week to me, only fix is to restart the entire game.

I would put this really high up on the priority list for needing a fix since you have to leave the game to correct. As OP noted it does suck when it happens and you are doing good with a team or playing your favorite map.

Not only PC but PS4 too.

I assume that you are a PS4 player and this happened to you too? If so, it sounds intriguing because it appears most players who are affected by this are PC players. It's probably rare for this sound-killing bug to make it happen for console players as well. I'm also a PS4 player, and so far this has not happened to me, but despite that I'm still very concerned about this serious problem that's affecting others.

So I heard, and that may explain why many bugs are taking such a long time to be fixed. If I remember correctly for what I was told, plenty of devs are at the moment on vacation or taking time off, but I do not know the exact full details behind this. I understand that people need to take some serious breaks from their job, and for good reasons, but In my opinion when so many serious bugs is happening right now, this is something I would consider a crisis situation and Dice should declare an emergency, or else they are risking of losing many active players. There will always be time for their vacation when they deserve, but it appears this is probably the worst time to do just that. Then again though, I do not know exactly what's going on at Dice's office, if I am missing something important.

I assumed something similar like this also happened to BF2015 in the past as well?

This bug has existed since Alpha. It was reported many times then. It was in Beta too. There were many reports. It has yet to be fixed. Would it have been fixed by now had the game not needed a revamp after EA hosed it with their greed? Maybe, maybe not. But to have been let out of Beta with it, that should not have happened.

Did someone beat you in the game fairly and you're upset? Was it not bugged or due to lag or a hack and it made you cry? Then please fill out this form and follow it's instructions for sending to the appropriate people.

This bug has been present since before the first line of SWBF2 code was ever written. We've been told that it was being looked at in many other games as well; the frequency of the sound bug has sometimes changed, but it's never been completely eliminated AFAIK.

On PS4 we have a different bug, the wrong sounds are used from time to time, spawn in as the droids on kamino and you hear the clones outlining the mission, lose on kashyyyk you hear the winning team soundbites

Guys, I have great news for PC players. It has now officially been confirmed that the audio bug was seem to be finally fixed, and we are speaking about this since this incredibly annoying bug was almost 1-year-old just like BF2 itself. Let's cross our fingers that the next patch will solve this crazy sound-killer bug once and for all.

Here's the video from our favorite Elliot of BattlefrontUpdates with his latest news regarding this fix (timestamps is from 7:06 to 7:35)
